I'm probably the only person in the world who didn't love this book. I thought it was very good and I enjoyed it, but I think I was expecting a lot more and I felt like there was something missing or maybe more I wanted. However, it's a well-written, interesting story that I enjoyed reading.

For such a short book, I found it difficult to follow. It wasn’t for me.

Re-read it after re-reading Anything Is Possible -- definitely even better together.

Re-read in anticipation of reading "Oh, William!" Upped it to five stars.
